AN APPRECIATION.
To the Editor. Sir, —As an old comrade of the late Captain Newland I was pleased to see to your issue of to-day an appreciation of lilm by some of his old comrades, we having served together at Pipiriki, Opotiki, and Patea, I can fully endorse the tTlbute paid to him. flls conduct in volunteering to Intervlow the hostile natives in their camp some three miles above our post at P'plriki (where he no doubt ran an Imminent risk of being killed, us Broughton was on a similar errand), deserved the decoration of the New Zealand Cross, which the late Judge Kenny and myself tried to get for him as a tardy recognition of that and his many other acts of bravery during the war, but were not successful. A graphic account of the attack on the Pipiriki post was contributed to the Military Journal by Captain Newland some time ago.— I am, etc., i THOMAS WILSON, I Late Captain Colonial Forces. I New Plymouth, May 10, 1919.
